figure, however was fraction above last nights

of the other markets during the first hour similar
to that of pork May lard opened .O71ac higher, at
S27aac. May wheat opened at $500 and May corn
at 54ssc. Trading was not unusually large. During
the morning May wheat. which had sold up to Sac,
eased back to 83 sc on large selling May corn sold
down 544c. There was little doing in either of
the grain pits, and before the close Nav sold
down to o4ac and up again to $3.50 541ec, on

Curious Lunatic Colony at Gheel.
PHILADELPHIA Evening telegraph.

The strange colony of lunatics at Gheel. in
the Belgian Campine. has long engaged the
attention of specialists; and so satisfactory has
been its working that duplicate of it has lately
been formally established In these colonies
the lunatics are boarded out with the inhabitants
live members of the family, assist in their
work, and have liberty to move about at will
The regularity and healthiness of the life led by
the afflicted Inhabitants of Gheel restores
considerable proportion of them to their right
mind. Gheel however is in the Flemish-speak
ing portion of Belgium, and it has of late years
been found that patients from the Walloon
country who speak only French or the Walloon
patois, were awkwardly placed and their recov-
cry retarded by the absence of ready means of
communication with those about them. The
experiment was therefore made of establishing
a French-speaking colony at Lieurneux, in the
Walloon country, near Spa; and it has been so
successful that it has now been placed upon a
permanent basis. The cost of pauper lunatics
to their communes does not exceed 20 cents a
day. Neither at Gheel nor at Lieurneux has it
been found that constant intercourse with
lunatics has increased the tendency towards
insanity among the natives.
